Great stay and location. This condo has it all. Close to SRQ airport, excellent proximity to downtown Sarasota, beaches and St. Armands circle. The saltwater pool was perfect and the gym was high quality. Sunsets from the balcony were a favorite. The best overall stay in Sarasota so far. We'll be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
The master bed on the floor was very hard for my parents to get in and out of the bed.
The property was very nice. The location was hard to find but once we figured it out, we were good.

Yes it is a brand new community so it may not be on all the GPS just yet. Brand new ! It is located between the wicked cantina and the subway. Google maps if you type in The Strand it will take you directly there ! Hope this helps. Cheers !
The condo and location were great. The entire grounds were very clean and the condo was exceptionally clean. Our son loves to fish, so it was nice he could just walk out in the mornings and fish and we could watch him from the balcony. We only used the kayaks once, but was a plus that they were available to us and there was a kayak launch right there. We will definitely keep this place in mind of we return next year.

That's fantastic to hear! We're thrilled that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the condo and made the most of the amenities. It's wonderful that your son had a great time fishing and that you could relax on the balcony while keeping an eye on him. The availability of kayaks added an extra layer of enjoyment to your stay, even if you only used them once. We're delighted to be considered for your future visits. Looking forward to welcoming you back next year!
Our stay was fantastic. The pictures are accurate and the space is spotless as it is brand new. We watched the sunsets from the balcony and it is in very close proximity to everything -- Downtown, Lido Beach, St. Armands Circle, and RCAD. The owner is very responsive.
It was a great stay. Im elderly so i wasnt able carry the kayak to the launching site (I drag mine) because i didnt want to scratch it up. The place was really wonderful. I got to see a manatee on the morning that i was leaving from the balcony.

Thank you for the great review, welcome back anytime !
Property owner was excellent communicating with us. Property was well kept with narrow balcony on water/river/inlet. Linens and kitchen were clean and well maintained. Very pleasant condo but access to one bathroom was not available since it was locked. Property is recommended for your Sarasota holiday

A really nice condo with lovely water views from the balcony. Lots of Pelican activity to enjoy. The Strand is a nice complex with a saltwater pool in a great location, close to downtown. This condo has the added value of providing 2 kayaks for guests use. We loved taking the kayaks out on the Bay. It was a definite highlight of our time there. The owner is wonderful to deal with and responds to all questions within minutes. I highly recommend a stay here.
